Irritant / corrosive response data:
No eye irritation was observed in the cornea, iris or conjunctivae of the 3 animals at any observation time point in response to 50% or 90% solution, or in response to vehicle control of olive oil, applied to the other eye of the animals.
Other effects:
No clinical signs were observed in any animals throughout the observation period. The body weights of all animals increased satisfactorily throughout the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance was found not irritating to rabbit eye in response to 50% or 90% solution in olive oil. The study was conducted according to a protocol equivalent to OECD guideline, but not in compliance to GLP.
